Re: Bunker buster bombs mounted on B-2s. Anyone know if the new mounts


are internal or external?

Seems to me that if these BBBs are as big and heavy as has been said, wouldn't they almost have to be external? Of course, I don't have any information on the size of the bombs or the dimensions of the B-2 bomb bay.

But if they are as large as implied by the media, that would mean they would have to be mounted externally, wouldn't it? And if they were mounted externally the B-2 would no longer be a stealth bomber, so it would be food for any anti-aircraft systems in the theatre.

Or has anyone in the administration thought of this?

Anyone have any more information than I do?
